I altered a chalkboard that I bought from Hobby Lobby. They are so adorable it's about 8x11 inch. Perfect for my desk.

I paint it with acrylic color in sunshine yellow.

I gotta admit this this the hardest process for me because since I was a little kid I always paint every kind out color outside the area that I wanted to ( may be that's why I always think outside the box lol ) I taped black part of chalkboard but still got it all over. Luckily it's acrylic color so it's removable.

For decoration I use this lovely Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe 6x6 Paper pad.

I cut them into a small stripe just to fit the edge or chalkboard. and glue them around.

Making my own button using Epiphany button maker size 20

They turn out perfect now I can make buttons that will match all my page perfectly.

Some butterflies that i punch out and put some flatback pearls on.

And the center of attraction is here !! Banner that I make for this chalkboard because then I can write scrap that I have to get done for the challenges.

They turn out really cute and will be useful for me since I'm such a forgetful person :P

I'm not a good writer but I will try to practice more then I can do some tutorial for others to get an idea how I create them.

I remember when I was a little girl I play with my mom's typewriter at her office. I love it so much I would type all day. Of course it was much more fun to type on a Thai typewriter because we have 44 alphabets 32 vows etc so its a lot of stuff on typewriter to type lol

I got this typewriter from goodwill for $6.99 !!

It's in good working condition . Really good deal eh? That's like one Redmango frogurt ( frozen yogurt )

Then I order new ink spool from eBay for $10 :)

I'm so excited can't wait to use it for my up coming scrapbooking project.
